Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Steve Albini, this highly anticipated release marked the legendary proto-punk band's first studio album in 34 years. While critical reception was notoriously harsh regarding its unpolished songwriting, the record features Iggy Pop and the Asheton brothers vigorously attempting to recapture the raw, primal energy of their foundational 1970s classics.
